Ashwin plays havoc

Indian bowers played havoc with the Sri Lankans in the first test on an unusually dry pitch dismissing island players in 23 overs for the loss of five wickets with a score of 65 runs. Ashwin has wrecked the hosts with spin bowling at Galle taking three wickets while Varun, Ishant and Mathews took one wicket each. Ashwin claimed the wicket of Sangakkara (5), Thirumanne (13) and Mubarak (0). Openers Mathews, with 26 and Chandimal with 5 runs are at the crease.
